I was just super excited because IdTech 5 seems like it would bring joygasm to TES. I wouldn't be surprised if they at least borrowed some stuff from the idtech engine (specifically it's intense support of megatextures, as an open world game like TES would benefit tremendously from them).

Wow, now that you mention it yeah this would definitely test the epicness of megatexture.. but it should still be fine, and besides, if the textures are a bit too bland someone will create a mod for that.

Quite off topic but, think I would benefit in BF3 from switching from 4gb to 8gb of ram? Currently at 2x2gb ddr2 @ 822mhz.. They're under clocked to be 1:1 with my core2duo lol.

Love how the resident tough guy is happy to talk trash on an internet forum but back pedals as soon as he is called out. Typical coward. No doubt he'll respond to this with excessive bravado in order to restore his rightful place as a fully fledged internet badass.

No, i have not played bf3, however looking at the demo's, id say it would need quite a decent system..

But keep in mind that skyrim is using a new engine, which could mean it needs more power..

What is your graphics card? Might be more worth your money to just get another cheap version of your card and SLI/Crossfire. Usually you get similar performance to the high end cards for much cheaper.

I got 2 GTX 460s for $80 each and they should perform just under a GTX 580. The high end GPUs also tend to have very poor scaling performance/$$$ If you have money to throw around you can SLI two GTX 570s for less than the price of a 590. You can SLI two 560s for less than half the price of a 590 and they'll run BF3 and Skyrim just fine.

"If you’re only concerned with the performance of an individual dual-GPU card, then I happily repeat the recommendation I made in the 6990 review: buy two Radeon HD 6970s or two GeForce GTX 570s and enjoy all of the performance without having to balance thermals and acoustics."

From what I'm hearing so far from people who can already access the game, it's a lazy console port with a garbage interface, and you practically REQUIRE a 360 controller. But we'll see in a few more hours...I gave Bethesda the benefit of the doubt and actually BOUGHT the game. If it turns out it IS actually a lazy console port, I'm never going to buy a Bethesda game again. Torrents all the way.

Yeah, the interface is not that good. But the game is like the second coming of Jesus. How are you liking it so far?

Yeah, it's an obvious console port, but the game is actually pretty damn good and the issues aren't near as bad as I've heard. I've heard people compare it to Morrowind, even.

I've never played Morrowind (saw a friend play it once), but that's what I heard as well. Skyrim is VAST. Don't get too antsy about the crappy UI and other console port shenanigans. Just enjoy the game and hopefully people will make good mods. But I feel ya. PC gamers have been getting screwed left and right for too long.
